The View Fiasco and a Vegan caught in the middle.
“The View” is one of those shows where you watch it because you like one (or more) of the hosts or in this case hostesses. I watched when Meredith Viera was on and when Rosie O’Donnell took over last September, i was fine with the move, even looked forward to it, as Rosie always has something to say about anything even remotely controversial. (for starters bush, Iraq, fat people, gays, etc) I don’t have a problem with Rosie, i do have a problem with her co-host Elizabeth Hassellbeck as she comes across as holier than Marcia Brady. Her sanctimonious and self-righteous baloney really gets on my nerves at times, and this week it went too far with her not defending her Hollywood galpal, Rosie. She could and should have defended Rosie earlier this week when the media as usual snarped at Rosie for, yet again, “being anti-American”. If it weren’t for “The View”, no one would even know of Elizabeth Hassellbeck, and instead of being grateful and humble for this lucky twist in her career, she has turned into quite a belladonna. As of today it was reported that Rosie has officially resigned as co-host, and will not be returning to The View, caught in the middle of this nasty cat fight, was Alicia Silverstone (of clueless fame) who is a strict and vocal vegan, who apparently snubbed Hassellbeck on Wednesdays show, probably because she is anti-stupid people and did not appreciate the way Elizabeth carried on against Rosie.

I saw the snub, it was so funny! Elizabeth gets on my nerves too.

I agree totally.
Thanks for writing this!
I have seen far too many posts against Rosie…boo to those who choose a “Plastic Pam” over a real person.
The video to the fight is available here to view if anyone is interested.

She is annoying! But I have to say that I am not a big fan of Rosie either. Great post! I need to check out your stuff more often. Let me know when you make your move to WordPress so I can subscribe to you.
